About

Searches craigslist in any city (subdomain) and category and returns one item per posting: title, posting URL, price with currency, location, geo coordinates, thumbnail and image gallery, plus your query/category/city echoed back on each item.

Parsing merges the JSON-LD ItemList craigslist embeds in search pages (prices, images, geo per result) with the static no-JS result markup (title, URL, location), and also understands the legacy result-row layout (which includes the posted date as ISO when present). Craigslist search pages are served without bot challenges, so this scraper runs on the free tier.

Categories are craigslist codes, e.g. sss (all for sale), apa (apartments), cta (cars & trucks), jjj (jobs), zip (free stuff).

Input

`city`* string	The craigslist city subdomain, e.g. austin, newyork, sfbay, chicago (the part before .craigslist.org).(default: "austin")
`category` string	Craigslist category code: sss = all for sale, apa = apartments, cta = cars & trucks, zip = free, jjj = jobs.(default: "sss")
`query` string	What to search for. Leave empty to list everything in the category.
`maxItems` integer	Maximum number of postings to return.(default: 40)

{
  "city": "austin",
